hey, i'm having a slight problem. i have a couple of episodes of full metal panic (kaa) that have a strange audio codec in them. when i play them in xbmc, i see video, but no audio. i know the codec it uses (coreaac.ax) but have no idea on how to implement it into xbmc. can somebody please tell me how? do i just put them in the codec folder and them write in the info in codec.conf? or do i need to modify mplayer.dll as well?

edit: nevermind, i just figured it out. for those who have the same problem, just download the codec, or find it in your pc, and write this in codecs.conf in the audiocodecs section:

audiocodec coreaac
info "coreaac"
comment "test codec"
status working
format 0x00ff
fourcc mp4a
driver coreaac
dll "coreaac.ax"

then, after you write this in, copy coreaac.ax into the codecs folder in xbmc directory. i guess you don't need to modify mplayer.dll to do this.

edit2: another problem. whenever you play the file,(after you get the audio working) if you pause or stop the playback, the xbox will crash. if anybody knows why and how to fix this, please post the answer.

lol?

which codec is now used for audio if you check with codecinfo?

hi,

i'm having exactly the same problem as you with some episodes of galaxy angel (aak). the audio requires the coreaac decoder.

unfortunately your little hack doesn't seem to work
where did you get your build of coreaac.ax ? i tried different versions but no luck so far...

and btw, i thought adding codecs wasn't possible?
well, any help appreciated!

i have the same problem, but i find a solution, write this in codecs.conf in the audiocodecs section:

audiocodec coreaac
info "coreaac"
comment "test codec"
status working
format 0x00ff
fourcc mp4a
driver faad
dll libfaad2

thanks goodness for forum searches. exactly the same problem here too, with those [kaa] galaxy angel releases (no sound). added the missing line to codecs.conf ( format 0x00ff ) and the audio works. thx, lordraiden!

great stuff indeed ^_^ i was getting worried that i'd never get audio at all if i grabbed any files from kaa. also it hasn't crashed with me when pausing etc but then i'm using the latest version of xbmc and its been a while since the original post was made. great stuff though as that was the only minor thing that was annoying my animé fix ^_^

i!!! thx for your great work!! i've a movie that cannot plays audio because is encoded with aac format. is it possible to improve this audio codec format in next versions of xbmc?

please test in very latest mplayer for win32 on your windows pc, if it plays it then just wait as it will soon be ported to xbmc, if it doesn't then report as a bug to mplayer

[Gamester17]

this should work even better(?); change the "audiocodec faad" part in codecs.conf to this:

audiocodec faad
 info "faad aac (mpeg4 audio) decoder"
 status working
 fourcc mp4a,mp4a
 fourcc "aac "; used in nsv
 format 0xff
 + format 0x706d
 driver faad
 dll libfaad2

i said "mplayer", mpc has nothing to do with xbmc or mplayer, ...if a media files plays in any other player that's not mplayer (link) means nothing for xbmc

i said "mplayer", mpc has nothing to do with xbmc or mplayer, ...if a media files plays in any other player that's not mplayer (link) means nothing for xbmc

so why are rmvb files (with raac codecs) playable in mplayer (link) but not in xbmc?
